Atharva Veda 2.29.7: Kanda 2, Anuvaka 3, Sukta 29, Mantra 7

Sukta 29

इन्द्र॑ ए॒तां स॑सृजे विद्धो अग्र॑ ऊ॒र्जां स्व॒धाम॒जरां॒ सा त॑ ए॒षा। तया॒ त्वं जी॑व श॒रदः॑ सु॒वर्चा॒ मा त॒ आ सु॑स्रोद् भि॒षज॑स्ते अक्रन्

índra etā́ṃ sasṛje viddhó ágre ūrjā́ṃ svadhā́m ájarāṃ sā́ ta eṣā́ | tayā́ tváṃ jī́va śarádaḥ suvár̥cā mā́ ta ā́ susrod bhiṣájaḥ te akran

Indra, though smitten, in the beginning sent forth this—vital strength, self-potent, undecaying: this is it for thee. By it do thou live on through autumns, fair in radiance; let it not stream upon thee—(for) the healers have wrought (the cure) for thee.

インドラよ、打たれながらも、初めに汝はこれを放ち出した――生命の力、自らの威能をもち、朽ちぬもの:これこそ汝のためのそれである。これによって汝は幾秋を生き、輝き美しくあれ。これが汝の上に流れ出でぬように――医者たちは汝のために治療を成し遂げた。
